I met some women there who make bindis. It is their livelihood
Once when I had gone to Rajasthan, I met some women there who make bindis. It is their livelihood.
Those women were telling me that since the past five to six years, their income had become one fourth of what it used to be. They make those small plastic ones. So they were all very unhappy, all of those women, saying that, ‘See, before we used to be able to sell so much but now we are not able to sell. Nobody applies them anymore.’
So I said, ‘No, no, I will tell everyone.’ I promised those women that I will tell all the women that they should apply, so that their means of living continues. So since then I tell everyone who comes to me; I keep asking them to apply the bindi. What I had promised to them, that I will not allow their business to die; so I advise all women to buy and apply.
